Pedro Guerrero Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This is #2 for the Defensive End position. It is all the players from the previous poll not named Wistrom plus Kyle Vanden Bosch, Mike Rucker, and Chad Kelsay. If I still missed who you want to vote for select Other and type them in.

cb1954 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Since most people are to young to remember Willie Harper, I will add some info. Hope that is ok. If not beat me. 1972 Washington D.C. Pigskin Club Defensive Player of the Year 1972 & 71 First-Team All-American 1972 & 71 First-Team All-Big 8 1970 Honorable Mention All-American 1970 Orange Bowl Outstanding Lineman Played 10 + years in the NFL Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This was a hard one...my choices was Harper, Rucker, and Vanden Bosch...had to go with Rucker though, he was good and consistent, solid player....but it was a tough choice between those guys - they were all good. Link to comment
hungbee112 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 KVB is a machine who didn't slow up one bit the entire game. Easy vote I thought. Others were good but not at the same pace as KVB was. Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Tomich...and the reasons for it have already been made in the previous DE thread Link to comment

Others were good but not at the same pace as KVB was. I can't say I've ever seen a Nebraska player control a game from the DE spot like KVB did against Northwestern in the 2000 Alamo Bowl. He literally shut down Northwestern's offense, which put up fantastic numbers all year, for the whole game. Link to comment

tmfr15 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I went Rucker, but the info from cb1954 is definitely worth noting. Link to comment
huskertim Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I had to go with Harper for his impact on that team at that time. Big difference maker on the field. Lots of good names not on the list is a testament to NU tradition Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 come on people...don't forget the great Jared Tomich Link to comment
